David Shapiro, Alec Hogg read the POSITIVE signals driving markets in Covid-19 crisis

Loading player...
Microsoft founder Bill Gates, who has spent much of his time and philanthropic funds on fighting diseases like malaria in Africa, warned the world that one of the greatest risks to humankind was an infectious virus. In a TedTalk in 2015, he outlined how the world was not ready for an epidemic and would end up in debt to the tune of at least $3trn. His objective was to encourage world leaders to prepare. We are now in the midst of an attack by microbes, but there are glimmers of hope that the end is in sight. Stock market expert David Shapiro picks up on this theme with BizNews editor-in-chief Alec Hogg, identifying the signals that are positive for investors. He also delves into the human side of the Covid-19 disaster, sharing how he believes the private sector can help the poor and financially distressed. - Jackie Cameron Learn more about your ad choices.
